MOSCOW, February 20 (RAPSI) – The Russian government has announced that it is increasing compensation to disaster and terrorism victims and their families.
Under the measure, adopted last week, the disaster prevention and relief fund will now pay 1 million rubles ($30,000) to the families of those who die in disasters or terrorist attacks.
The previous amount was roughly two-thirds lower.
